ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. --- Arlington International Racecourse today
announced the launch of a special event Web site at www.apmillion.com that will provide up to date news and
handicapping information on the Arlington Million, the Beverly D and the
Secretariat Stakes, three Grade 1 races that will be held Aug. 19 at the
suburban Chicago track.

"This Web site emphasizes handicapping analysis and racing news and
information," said Scott Mordell, chief executive officer of Arlington.
"It's customer focused and should appeal to handicappers, horsemen and
thoroughbred racing fans throughout the world who are interested in
developments surrounding the stellar international fields we will assemble

that has quickly developed between the staffs at Churchill Downs

core patrons."
